It has been a long, long time fellas but OUR Lions are in the PLAYOFFS and the time is now. Post all your thoughts on the game in this thread.

I can't wait!

Join fellow fans in the Lionbacker Chat Room during the game.

GO LIONS!

lol. the wife is home from Kuwait, we super wasted. Go lions! My dog even got himself a Lions jersey for Xmas. We got absolutely 0 respect all season and literally 20 minutes ago, Micheal Smith said on ESPN that the Lions "Don't deserve any respect". Neither does your little bulls*** show, Micheal. Atleast acknowledge the fact that our best defensive players were gone in that game although I highly doubt that anyone realizes that other than us Lions fans. And they wonder why we take joy in watching our team smack some of your favorite players in the mouth.

I think the key will be hitting that sawed off QB and the D getting thier hands up to bat down passes(the guy is great at finding passing lanes, but we should be able to deflect a few at the line). I'm glad Lance Moore and Mark Ingram will be out. I also think that the Saints are a dirty team and if we keep our composure, they will look like fools(like we did in week 12). Everyone is loving Drew Brees but no one seems to know that our QB is pretty damn good too.

I am so glad the game won't be played on paper. Go Lions! Lets give em the business and go march it right up thier cocky a*****

The problem with people like Michael Smith, and all the other anylysts is, they just don't know what the Lions are capable of. I have to see it come to fruition, but I think the Lions could really open up some eyes in this game.

Heres to hoping for their best performance and a "W"

Go Lions

Can't wait, excited to watch this game tonight.

And who cares what the pundits are saying. I know at work everybody who is a football fan has gained a lot of respect for the lions and what they have accomplished this year.

Lets go Lions!!

I just hope the officials make some calls for once against the Saints and all their illegal picks they use to get receivers open downfield. The LBs and Ss need to be on their game today and the CBs need to jam as much and as often as possible to give the DL time to disrupt Brees' rhythm.

As for me I haven't been this anxious since the birth of my sons, 8pm can't get here soon enough.

I'm with you, sweetd20. I haven't been this geeked for a game in a very long time. While I don't expect the Lions to win, they definitely have a chance to pull off an upset. I just hope the refs call a fair game and that the Lions don't shoot themselves in the foot with stupid mistakes.

Sorry guys. No way the Lions win tonight. Do I think their defense will give up too many points, or their offense won't perform? No....

Charles Barkley just picked the lions to win.

Here we go, can you believe it...

Come on Lions!!!

Seriously, poor officiating costs the Lions points again?

Way to blow the whistle on a live fumble a-holes. Lions got shafted on 7 points

How can suh get held and thrown down and not have a hold called on those 'all pro' guards?

FYI - NBC sucks and is horrible at showing replays

Here Kitty Kitty indeed! I'm curious, wasn't it the Romans who fed the Saints to the Lions IN a coliseum? Go LIONS!!!!

Good half for our boys! Pumped for the 2nd half - go Lions!

Playing well.
Tackling HORRIBLE!!
